Read Online Brie Pleases her New Master (After Graduation, #1) by Red Phoenix - Free Book Online

Sir wasn’t even asking to hear her side of the story. Brie remained on the floor, feeling like an idiot. “Sir…” she called out.
    He answered by shutting the door.
    Tears rolled down her cheeks. It had been a terrible mistake not to say anything. She understood that now. All she wanted was to make things right with Sir. Whatever he demanded as punishment would be fine, as long as he could forgive her for the mistake.
    Brie laid her head on the couch, feeling utterly bereft. She spent the night kneeling beside the couch in the dark, watching Sir’s bedroom door. She noted when the light finally went out and stared at the door all night long, praying the light would turn back on and he would come for her.
    Sir did not.
     

 
    Repentance
     
    Brie was on alert when she heard him stir in the morning. She heard the shower and a short time later his bedroom door opened. She waited with bated breath as he walked down the hallway to her. Sir was fully dressed in a business suit, his hair still slightly damp.
    He did not waste time, coming directly to her and commanding, “Stand.”
    With great difficulty, Brie urged her stiff limbs to support her wobbly legs. She dared not look him in the eye.
    “Not speaking of the encounter with Wallace is the same as lying.”
    “I’m sorry, Sir. I did not mean to lie to you.”
    “What possible reason would make you keep it from your Master? Do you respect me so little?”
    She braved a look at him, wanting Sir to know her heart. “No, Master! I didn’t think it was important enough.”
    “Anytime another Dom touches my sub, it is very much my business.”
    She bowed her head. “I didn’t think of it that way, Master.”
    “Do you have feelings for the boy? Is that why you covered it up?”
    “No, Sir. I love you. I want no one else.”
    His voice became deadly serious. “Know this, Brie.” For the first time, her name sounded distasteful on his lips. “I consider you talking to another Dom without my permission an act of betrayal on your part.”
    The air left her lungs.
    “I will not abide disloyalty.”
    She could barely get the words out. “I understand, Master. I deeply regret my actions.”
    “Any interaction with a Dom is worthy of my attention. A lie of omission is still a lie.”
    She bowed on the ground before him. “I understand, Master. I will not lie to you again.”
    “No, you will not. Look at me.” Brie looked up at his imposing stature, afraid and in awe of him. “I must know the real motivation behind your deception.”
    She swallowed once, to force her throat to relax enough that she could speak. “I did not want Mr. Wallace to get in trouble, Master. I felt guilty that I caused him pain by choosing you, and I didn’t want to add to it by making you angry with him.”
    “Foolish,” he growled. “Wallace is a grown man. He knows the protocol. If he chooses to ignore it, he must suffer the consequences.”
    Her heart sank for Faelan. Instead of sparing Todd, she was certain she had made things much worse for him. “I understand, Master. I was wrong and deserve to be punished.”
    “Yes, your willful disobedience must be addressed.”
    As much as she hated being disciplined by Sir, she craved it, because it would put her right with him. Harmony with Master was all she wanted, and she would do anything to get it back.
    “Get ready for work. You will spend the day out of contact with me. When you return home, I want you to remain fully dressed while you wait. I will dole out my correction tonight.”
    Sir grabbed his key and left the apartment. Brie slowly pulled herself up off the floor and headed to the bathroom. Her sense of failure was so great, she could taste it in her mouth.
    The day was a trial. Mr. Reynolds knew there was something wrong, but wisely chose not to get involved. Instead, he interviewed the owner’s family members applying for the job. Since there were four of them, it gave her boss some control over who would be working
